RED = PENDING
GREEN = SOLD
Hello everyone, thanks for stopping by. Here are some games and game items I'm willing to part with at this time. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to what I'll take for anything. Most of this stuff is spare extras or things I came across when moving recently. I may list more but for the time being this is it. Yes, there are some non game items here but again, most of it is left overs / stuff found that's not wanted after moving recently.
I'm getting desperate, any and all offers will be considered (but not all will be accepted). Wanna lowball me? Go for it! You might just walk away with a great deal. If you're serious and will pay promptly - then of course I'll take a reduced price!
Easy Rules:
1) PM me with offers or post in the thread. I am willing to accept offers on any item listed below and would gladly cut you a price break if you would like to pick up multiple items. In other words prices aren't set in stone.
2) Shipping will be determined based upon size / weight of items being shipped. I will not overcharge you for shipping or charge for packaging means however I'm not going to cut corners at the risk of damaging an item in transit. Everything ships USPS Priority Mail or USPS Parcel Post unless the buyer specifies something else. Everything ships no later than 72 hours after your payment arrives.
3) All prices are in US dollars and at this time I can only accept payment in the form of MONEY ORDER drawn in US funds.
4) I would like to keep all shipping within the lower 48 United States due to high shipping costs otherwise. I'm no longer shipping items to Canada, sorry but it's simply too much of a problem these days.
5) I reserve the right to refuse to do business with certain parties at my discretion.
If you need more / better / specific pictures of anything just PM me. If you want higher resolution pictures of something and are seriously interested just let me know.

PLEASE MAKE OFFERS ON ANY ITEM!!
Most of this stuff isn't doing me any good so go ahead and make any offer on any item - you never know!
PLEASE POST IN THE THREAD IF YOU SEND ME A PM! "PM Sent" is fine, I really appreciate it when my thread is bumped by someone other than me! It's the proper thing to do.

Sony PlayStation 2
PS2 - Yakuza (new and factory sealed). These are brand new old store stock that were removed from the shipping carton by myself personally. Not much else to say. I want $18.00 each, shipped in a water resistant bubble envelope. A truly awesome game that not enough people had the chance to play. If you liked Shenmue or River City Ransom, this is your type of game.

Nintendo Famicom
FC - A small assortment of loose Famicom cartridges that I no longer need. They are all official releases, no pirates. I don't expect much but if you're looking to expand or start your Famicom collection this would be a good chance to pick up a couple titles. A bubble mailer will more or less be how these are shipped unless you're buying something else as well, in that case they'd be tossed in the same box. Condition is noted next to each, prices are without shipping, which would be a couple bucks more. The listed prices are low to begin with but as always I'm open to offers.
FC - Abadox, excellent condition with both labels attached. ($4.00)
FC - Super Chinese, excellent condition, missing edge label. Released in the US as Kung Fu Heroes. ($5.00)
FC- Hydlide Special, excellent condition with both labels attached. Released in the USA as Hydlide. ($4.00)

Sega Saturn
SAT - Sega Saturn Japanese import games, complete as listed but no spinecards unless stated. These are all out of my personal collection and are in excellent shape. Prices are estimates, please make offers for more or less. You Saturn MUST be able to play Japanese region games for these to work, either via a hardmod or a region cartridge (PAR 4-in-1, ST Key, etc.).
SAT - Magic Knight Rayearth, in perfect condition. Yes this game got a USA release but it had some bigtime reworks in the audio department. See, in the original there's a LOT more speech, nearly everyone talks - I wish Working Designs would have stuck to their original plan of dubbing all the dialogue. Alas, you can still play it as it was meant with the Japanese version, the music is also far better. Since the game is an action platformer with walkthroughs-a-plenty online, you should be able to get through it with limited or no knowledge of Japanese. ($20.00)
SAT - Suikoenbu Outlaws of the Lost Dynasty, in perfect condition. Old school fighting game that zooms in and out similar to the Art of Fighting series. If you like the older SNK games you'll more than likely enjoy this, it has a unique style and some good animation. No knowledge of Japanese is required for play. ($10.00)
SAT - Vampire Hunter: Darkstalkers Revenge, in perfect condition with spinecard. Classic entry into the classic series based around old movie and sci-fi monsters. Since this is the Japanese version it uses the correct names for characters. Sure it's not all that hard to find these days but it's a solid fighter that should be played on the Saturn over any other system. No knowledge of Japanese is required for play. ($20.00)
Or take the whole above lot for $30.00 shipped!

SAT - NiGHTS into Dreams... bundle version. This is the full version of the game, not a demo. It's from the pack-in bundle with the 3D controller, which is why it's in a standard jewel case. It's complete as this release goes but is the game only (no 3D controller or 3D controller / NiGHTS box). The front of the case has some scratches and cracks but is overall in good condition and it's just a standard jewel case anyway. The disc has a Wherehouse disc sticker on it. Can these be removed? - Yes. Will I attempt to remove it for you? - No. Aside from the sticker the disc is in excellent condition and plays perfectly. ($15.00)

Nintendo Entertainment System
NES - Caesar's Palace NES prototype cartridge. Yes, this is an authentic NES prototype of the game Caesar's Palace. I acquired it a few years ago from a dealer at a flea market. If it's any consolation I believe it was from the same people I got my HeartBeat Personal Trainer (long since sold) from later on. In other words they had some extreme rares up the ass. It's fairly close to the finished retail version and contains the complete game with a few differences. I never was really able to sit down and give the game a thorough comparison play against the retail version as I intended. However in the time I have played it and compared I did notice some things that were different...
Most obvious is a color difference in the lobby, the golds of the retail version are purple in the prototype.
The "Caesars Palace" text on the pause screen is left justified rather than centered as in the retail version.
When you cash out and leave the casino the little musical tune that plays in the background is absent, however the tune when you leave broke is still in place. Both events in the retail version have music.
The slot machine odds seem to be much better in the prototype, at least for me, all machines seem to pay out more frequently and higher combinations when they do hit.
I'm sure there are more things that are different that can be discovered with a proper investigation, here are some pictures...
Again, this has to be a near release version as the entire game is there and works, it's just not polished and has some variations from the retail version. The EPROM was exposed when I acquired the cartridge so I placed some thick tape over the window, there was no version sticker in place. This prototype has not been dumped. I'm not looking for much, $90.00 shipped insured Priority Mail takes it or again, please make an offer.

NES - Assorted NES games. These are simply duplicates.
NES - Metroid (loose, excellent mint condition) ($15.00)
NES - Duck Hunt (boxed complete, usual wear to the box and a couple folds on the booklet, back of cartridge has some sharpie writing on it) ($10.00)

NES - Gyromite cartridges featuring offical Nintendo Famicom to NES converter boards and connectors. The reason most of you are probably here. These are the famed and often searched for early release NES cartridges that feature Famicom to NES converters inside. As described at my site these contain a Famicom Robot Gyro board, a 60 pin Famicom passthrough, and a 60 pin Famicom to 72 pin NES converter board. These can be used to allow play of JPN Famicom cartridges on a standard USA NES system.
Want to try your hand at building a standalone converter cartridge? How about simply having one of these to round out a collection? Ever wanted to crack open a couple Famicom cartridges and make some custom conversion NES cartridges for games like The Goonies? All these are great things to do with these cartridges, there are great examples on these very forums - my favorite being to put a pirate Famicom multicart into one and make a professional looking label - instant NES custom multicart conversion. I've found these in a few different cartridges over the years but the ones I have up for sale are all Gyromites. Remember, not all Gyromite or early release NES cartridges feature these, in fact few do. After years of studying the differences between these and normal cartridges I've figured out ways to tell them apart without opening them. Remember these contain 100% authentic Nintendo parts for 100% compatibility and reliability.
The catridges have been fully cleaned and tested and are ready for whatever type of modification you may see fit. I'm looking for around $30.00 per cartridge, that includes shipping in a bubble mailer. I have three, and these are my last of them. If they don't sell I'll happily keep them and make multicart conversions out of them. ONLY ONE LEFT!!

Atari VCS / Atari 2600
VCS - Video Game Brain cartridge selection accessory for the Atari VCS / Atari 2600 complete in box. This is a device that plugs into the Atari cartridge slot and allows up to six cartridges to be plugged in at once and switched between. It's basically six Atari cartridge slots in a box that interfaces with the system. Each cartridge is selected via a pushbutton. These are cool for competitions where you want all the games that are going to be played out for display and also to ensure that no one tampers with the catridges. Let's be honest though, the true collectors are who are after these as not many were made. It is totally complete with the original box, the original foam inserts, both original bags, the original instruction booklet, original warranty card and of course the unit itself. Condition is incredible as pictured and works perfectly. The box has minor wear and a couple price stickers, vintage Kmart. In my years of collecting I've never seen another one of these (yes, I know it was a retail product), especially one boxed and complete. I wouldn't get rid of it but again, I need the money. I want $50.00, which is in line with the DP guide price since the listing there is for a loose one. You don't see the odd accessories like this often. Cartridges not included, odd mix I know but it's what I had close by at the time.
